NANCY HOLT
The first major UK presentation of American land artist Nancy Holt (1938–2014) – best known for her Sun Tunnels (1973–76) in the Utah desert – invites visitors to explore art shaped by light, language and space. Works include her early Concrete Poetry, photography, film and two landmark installations that extend into the landscape. Among them is Hydra’s Head, a series of water-filled pools that bear witness to their environment.
In The Gallery
Inside The Gallery, discover a selection of photographic works, drawings and concrete poetry alongside installations and films, including Sun Tunnels (1978), illuminating the ideas behind the artist’s renowned contribution to land art.
In the Landscape
Explore major new iterations of her influential site-responsive installations, realised according to the artist’s instructions, in collaboration with Holt/Smithson Foundation. The first posthumous installation of Hydra’s Head (1974) - an earthwork formed of six pools of water positioned according to the Hydra constellation - will be presented within the Foundation’s chalk quarry, where the pools will reflect the changing skies above.
